A nickel & A Nail

I originally thought this was a Ron Landis but I can't find a match. Does anyone have any Idea who made this one?

I could be wrong but maybe it's AI generated, if a human made it they're really good, the dates have me puzzled!

 

This one is in hand I bought it yesterday. That is the in hand look.

 

How can this possibly be?

 

Well, where do you start? I look to the die cracks.

 

At this show I got to see a 21D Zerbe, in a soap box slab. Very cool coin!

This is not a real hobo nickel... this is an overstruck die creation, similar to the dan carr abominations.

Very clearly, this was some sort of invention struck over a 1943S silver war nickel. This was not carved like any real hobo nickel.

 

Yes, and figured before I bought it, still doesn't change the question of who made it. You do know what they say about opinions right?

 

Maybe it is one.

 

I couldn't find anything about this one.
If you find out let us know.

 

I would say that it is die struck over a 1943-S war nickel. There is lots of undertype from the host coin. This is a modern fabrication. It only relationship to a real hobo nickel is its reproductive status.

 

Nope not a DCarr. It's not in the Moonlight Mint data base. I should have asked Dan if he knew who made it at the show on friday.

Yes, there is no doubt that it is a die struck token. What I find odd is that most of these type of tokens have a makers mark or initials.

 

I will, I have some more artists to go thru on the OHNS website. I may have to contact them to see if they know.

 

I doubt they would know or care - this is struck, not carved.

 

No ____sherlock! As said above more than once.
Get over it!

 

Well it's unique for sure!

 

Thanks, still haven't found a match.

 

I struck tokens for the OHNS from 2014 to 2018. But this is not one of them.
I do not know who made this one.

I do agree that it is definitely die-struck over a normal 1943-S 5-Cents coin.

 

Really?
